Just one more question... how sensible is it to use those OSTypes to
do it? I've seen them all over the Apple docs, but gcc spits out a
bunch of warnings.
Something like:
enum
{
GSSoundUChar = 'UCHR'
GSSoundSChar = 'CHAR'
GSSoundShort = 'SHRT'
....
}
The only point I see to using the compiler extension to initialize a 4
byte integer with letter is if you want the resulting integer to be
readily readable when viewed as a string ... pretty rare, and unlikely
to be an issue in this case. Probably better to stick to a simple
enumeration where the compiler will give you small integer values.
I wouldn't use names like GSSoundShort which are ambiguous (maybe a
future processor will have a 32bit short). I'd have thought something
like GSSound8BitPCM, GSSound16BitPCM, GSSound32BitPCM ...
